"also WW2, fuck me sit down" has me in stitches his use of swear words, what a ledgend

3-4-53617d ago

AC1- Decent start
AC2- Awesome, possibly best in series
AC2-Brotherhood - Introduced good multiplayer, solid game
AC2 Revelations - ehhhh
AC3 - Worst in the series, almost made me give up on AC
AC4 - GREAT Pirate game, pretty good AC game, redeemed the series's credibility.

Plyzz3617d ago

I know a lot of people feel that way about AC3, but I actually really liked it.. There was a certain vibe about it that wasn't there in the other games.
Admitted I did like AC4 better, but not as a "AC game". Maybe I will view AC4 as a better "AC game" once I get to play Unity, if it explains some of the unexplained story in AC4.

Harmy6663617d ago

I'm a massive Assassin's Creed fan, and for me, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag was worse than Assassin's Creed Revelations.

Assassin's Creed - brilliant Assassin game. In terms of actually being an Assassin, it was the best one. But it was just too repetitive. Ok modern day section.

Assassin's Creed II - brilliant story, at the time it had brilliant graphics as well. Modern day section better was better than the previous game

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - wasn't keen on this one, and the story is very vague in my mind, just didn't appeal to be very much. Good Desmond missions

Assassin's Creed Revelations - I loved this one. Lots of people didn't enjoy it, but the mix of Ezio and Altaïr was superb. Altaïr is by far my favorite assassin. I hated the modern day first person platformer missions. Ugh!

Assassin's Creed III - loved the story, loved the combat, loved Connor. By far the best modern day section, shame about the ending :'(

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag - didn't like this one. Didn't like Edward. Didn't like the story of Assassins and Templars, simply because it was basically non-existent. However, it was a fantastic pirate game, but like I said above, I'm an Assassin's Creed fan. Good modern day sections, but not as good as Assassin's Creed III.

In my opinion, from best to worst it goes like this:

Assassin's Creed II
Assassin's Creed III
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag

That's going by the best Assassin's Creed game, not, this game was better because it had the best graphics, or that one was better because... pirate ships!!

***SPOILER START***

Also, I really enjoyed the Desmond/modern day sections of the story,, especially in Assassin's Creed III, and I was extremely upset when Desmond was killed off…

***SPOILER END***

I expected more from Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag in regards to the modern day section, but I suppose it was better than the Assassin's Creed Revelations first person platformer.

"his a cock end i" brilliant stuff im tearing up

gamer11383617d ago

Funny vid...BUT...If I don't like the game, I don't like the game. Don't ram it down my throat! I enjoyed 2 but I never really felt the draw to play the sequels. I bought 4 on my x1 but I just didn't enjoy it. Isn't that my right?

r1sh123617d ago

I can understand some peoples opinion that its too repetitive etc..
I can agree it does get quite repetitive, i mean 4 got boring because of the constant ship battles.
It sort of became ubisofts learning of how to learn from the feedback.

My biggest gripe is when desmond died. Personally it should have beens desmonds story right to the present day while travelling through history.

THats me though

Matt6663617d ago

you should of warned people of the spoiler thanks for that...

lonelyplayer3617d ago

I'm playing the 4 and I like it... But... Why did they kill Desmond???? That was disappointing!
I never played the 3

elhebbo163617d ago

I agree, at least they try to tackle something different everytime (different cities, different cultures, different parts of history, etc) while also maintaining and improving the gameplay.

LightDiego3617d ago

Who are you to tell me i'm wrong?
I'm always right, only the fanboys disagree.

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske190d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid190d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot190d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno190d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot190d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface189d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot189d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69190d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.

GhostScholar201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.

gold_drake201d ago

omg chloe was awful. i really hated her at the end haha

Cacabunga201d ago

Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽

Rancegamerx201d ago

I agree, I liked Max, Chloe was a horrible friend and a bad influence.

Cacabunga200d ago

Everyone agrees on chloe, I’m sure even ND do.

H9201d ago

Both are horrible, granted Chloe is infinitely worse, it feels like Chloe is just fanservice for people who too over the edge and wasn't written to be a character that makes sense

GooGobbler201d ago

What about that Forspoken Tw*t

MrChow666201d ago

exactly I was expecting it to be a the top of the list

ravens52201d ago

Ye I was expecting her too. Guess they actually played the game. Unlike you and whoever agrees.

gpimlott200d ago

I played through the whole game and think she is one of the worst character Ive ever played as

ravens52200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

gpimlott. How?

Stanjara190d ago

Why would I payed and played the game if the whole internet is making fun of a character?

-Im here to kill Chaos...are you Chaos?

Yeah, I didn't play that game either.

Christopher201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

She's actually not bad. It's the writing itself that is bad overall, but she's fine overall. She's no worse than Miles Morales IMHO. Both thrust into a spotlight and receiving both praise and blame and dealing with it.

Forspoken is a bland game because it's 75% bland, boring, repetitive going through the motions and diversions that add nothing of the value with purposefully gated memory moments that don't feel organic or like you're discovering things but waiting for others to reveal things.

ravens52201d ago

Exactly Chris. Even though I liked the game. I kno u played it. People who actually played it and went thru her dream saw she was a good likeable person who really just acted out due to being alone and unloved. I think your problem is it was open world, I think if it was more linear you may have liked it better.

savedsynner200d ago

Oh no she's bad. Very unlikable even before you add on the bad dialogue. The game could have been quite good with a good protagonist

ravens52200d ago

For all the people like synner. Shes actually half white lol. Inferior complexity is a hell of a thing. You'll be ok.

Nerdmaster201d ago

Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.

-Foxtrot201d ago

Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...

People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.

Nerdmaster200d ago

No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.

BrainSyphoned201d ago

Squall is the best protagonists in FF so you can go whatever yourself.

H9201d ago

My good sir, I need to steal that "you can go whatever yourself" because it's gold

BlaqMagiq1201d ago

Except Squall has actual character development.

gold_drake201d ago (Edited 201d ago )

the "watever" is only present in the english localisation.
so your argument doesnt rly ... stand imo.

Nerdmaster200d ago

Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
